HUMAN Residency Lecture - How Useful is an Algorithm to Lady Liberty?
Sep 2025
09
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
In this reading and talk, Serena Dokuaa, poet, AI policy expert, and HUMAN Residency Fellow, will read from her in-development poetry collection, To AI a Butterfly.
To AI a Butterfly uses poetry to dig beneath the language of policy, computer science, and journalism to reveal the ideological and spiritual reckonings needed to build a just AI ecosystem and world. In a time where we are fighting for policy to reflect basic truths, including America’s past and the domestic, global, and ecological impacts of our current policy landscape, this talk explores how poetry allows us to go deeper — into our history, the ideologies that control our present and future, and the reckonings that will allow us to build something better.
